As some of you Bees know I have been interviewing for jobs due to the division of my company being sold. There has been tremendous uncertainty around if jobs would be around after sale so I decided to be proactive. Last week I got an offer, negotiated more money and verbally accepted, yay! I come into work yesterday and they announce that my new employer is the buying entity for my division! What?! They will be honoring all service hours and intend to keep a majority of staff with offer letters being sent out within 60 days.

I am shocked and quite frankly kind of upset. Yes, the offer I received is for more money but I will loose all my vested benefits just to end up at the same company. The jobs would be different but they are still for the same division.

What would you do?! I can't tell if deciding to rescind at this point burns a bridge with the acquiring company. I did email the recruiter about the announcement and how it has complicated my acceptance benefits wise.

Thoughts, advice? Ughhhh
